- How AI is used in Stackflow? - 14 October 2026
Hi everyone, A few of you have asked how AI is used in Stackflow. It's a fair question, so here's a straight answer. What I made myself Game design โ Every block, perk, boss and mechanic was designed by me. Art โ Drawn by me. Sound design โ Made by me. Music โ Composed by musicians I hired and I made a variation of a song with AI. There is no AI-generated art, sound or music (except the one mentioned) in the game. Where I use AI Translations โ I write all of the game's text myself in English and Portuguese. The other 10 languages are translated with the help of AI. If something reads wrong in your language, please let me know and I'll fix it. Programming โ I use AI coding assistants as part of my workflow, especially on the harder technical parts, like the SRS+ rotation system that controls how pieces rotate and kick off walls. Code review โ Before each update, I use AI to review my codโฆ
